Key Ideas in Constitutional Law

David Feldman

David Feldman is the Rouse Ball Professor of English Law at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Downing College, UK.

This book argues that disagreement lies at the heart of all constitutions — particularly the UK’s — and that efforts to manage it drive constitutional change.

Disagreements are the lifeblood of democratic politics. This book shows how conflicts are managed in the UK’s constitution, and how institutions and officials may work together even when their roles and values diverge. The book uses examples from a variety of constitutional systems to help readers to understand not only what constitutional rules are but also how systems help to sustain states’ orderly political and legal activities.
